Pretty sure most windows users hate their OS right back.

I doubt most Windows users care enough to hate it.

In my company, people were shocked at the hint I might change their Windows to Linux on a whim. They're all so attached to Windows.

And I was joking!

Tbh I see this as a problem. For instance, I've been considering going into politics and one of my main concerns is the security of our government's information. Right now the Americans could have a direct line of access to all of our doings simply because we use Windows. Not to mention there's the matter of Recall which, while not implemented in Windows 10, will likely be included when the government switches from Windows 10. That itself is a huge security risk. So the only options are to implement an existing Linux distro or to fork and maintain one specifically for the government. And that would be all well and good if it didn't require retraining every government employee to use Linux.
